PATERSON — A 22-year-old man was shot in the leg during a robbery the night of Dec. 6.

Police have now released a surveillance video of the attack, and are offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.

In the video, two men rob two other men at the corner of Marshall and Slater streets around 9 p.m., Capt. Heriberto Rodrgiuez said.

One of the alleged robbers holds the gun up, talking, as the other two men stand with their backs to the wall of a store.

The robber shoots, one of the victims falls. Then, the shooter and his alleged accomplice rob the two victims. The accomplice smacks the shot man, and pushes the uninjured victim to the ground against the wall.

As the two robbers walk away, the man who was shot gets up and hops on one foot around the corner. The two robbers then get into what is described as a late-1990s or early 2000s-model Ford Crown Victoria or Mercury Grand Marquis, white, with a half-vinyl roof tan in color, Rodriguez said.
